On another note, that Cana fella for Sunderland looks a bloody brilliant player. Whether he was in centrefield of centre half today he was exceptional, an absolute monster. Yet another rabbit out of the hat from Brucie, hes some man to find these unheard of gems.

agreed.

he looks absolute top quality. and he's captain.

him and cattermole will stifle and outplay a lot of teams this season.

When was last time we lost four matches so early on in season. WTF is going on. I really thought we had turned the corner after last season but seemingly not.

The captain of Olympique de Marseille was an unheard-of gem? :rolleyes:

In fairness, and its not like I listen to the waffle that usually comes out of Benitez, but he is right this season. ALL of the top teams are going to lose more goals than they expect and its not just gonna be a top four league with the rest lagging miles behind. Its going to be much tighter than usual league. It makes it more exciting but of course when its your team losing it ain't pretty. United should have been out of sight by the tenth minute today, they didn't put the goals away and had to settle for a Valencia goal on top of a flukey own goal. After that it seemed like cruise control and suddenly Bolton get one back and before you know it its alll hands to the pump and running balls into corner flag situations at 86 minutes in OLD TRAFFORD. United were running scared today for the last quarter and although would not have deserved a draw, it could very easily have happened.

You can never say never with this league and Sunderland are far stronger than they were last season, so don't be so surprised. It nearly happened to United two weeks ago and should have been a warning.

Kuyt and Beny are not the type of players you should be relying on to get results away from home against in form on the up teams...average, squad players and massively inconsistent. Especially Yossi

Fair point!

He was a bit of a legend in Football Manager also if I remember correctly.
Bruce is as avid fan.
Maybe Trilla has the right idea.

Judging by the way RAFA picked the team today he is a bit of a football Manager player himself
as in:
picked a new formation
a new formation that none of the lads are used to in any way
a new formation for a game during an international week SO
he had no time to work on it during the week
a new formation for an away game against an inform settled team

It probably worked on his laptop last night:mad:

The fact he changed the formation SO much because 2 players were missing show NO faith in the other players
His players!!!!!:mad:

I dont get it!

speaking of Subbuteo (which was a great game) anyone remember this famous singles cover. very appropriate I think!

Goal should have been disallowed officially

why?

Mr Alan · 17-10-2009 08:51PM

outside influence or something. should have been a drop ball.

Bruce spoke about it after the match & admitted it should have been, but its an obscure rule.

**** happens.

Mr Alan · 17-10-2009 09:04PM

couple of match ban for aul Brucie hopefully

Handsome Bob · 17-10-2009 09:05PM

WTF was that all about?

Rafa said he had a funny looking nose.
